I tried everything mentioned here, but my sound is still super low, and now it sound worse than before, like if the speakers are at there max (but they aren't, since the sound is super low).
and still the same problem, then adding "options snd-hda-intel model=3stack" to my "/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base"
and then running "sudo alsa force-unload; sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel" but I still have the same problem, I also tried these :
oh, and I no longer have "Master" after all of this, only "PCM" in my gnome volume applet, but if I do :
amixer I see it :

I also noticed that I have "Channel Mode", it was set to "2ch", if I set it to "6ch", the sound is clearer (I no longer have the
problem where the speakers sound like they are at their max). This setting only exists when I use "options snd-hda-intel model=3stack".
The sound sounds louder, but if I set PCM to 100% it's as loud as my laptop's sound at around 50%.
I tried everything mentioned here, but my sound is still super low, and now it sound worse than before, like if the speakers are at there max (but they aren't, since the sound is super low).
I tried :
sudo apt-get install module-assistant
sudo m-a a-i alsa-source
sudo alsa force-unload; sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel
and still the same problem, then adding "options snd-hda-intel model=3stack" to my "/etc/modprobe. d/alsa- base"
and then running "sudo alsa force-unload; sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel" but I still have the same problem, I also tried these :
options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-dig
options snd-hda-intel model=auto
I also tried reinstalling all of my alsa related packages :
sudo aptitude reinstall alsa-base alsa-source alsa-utils libesd-alsa0 libpt-1. 10.10-plugins- alsa libsox-fmt-alsa alsa-oss
but that didn't work either. Here is my info :
